Midsummer and the solstice fall at the same time in Sweden.
Days are long and light —
People wear flowers in their hair
As they dance around the midsummer pole
To celebrate the fleeting warmth and sun
Called midsummer.
(Away filming this week, so may not get around to visiting you all.)
For more solstice beauty, please visit: Our World and also Skywatch.

Like others mentioned, I long to fly around a mid-summer pole with flowers in my hair . . . daisies, roses, whatever! 🙂

Always love to see flowers in people’s hair. The last I saw them worn was by a little bridesmaid who systematically and quietly ripped out all the roses in hers and shredded them. I was sitting a few rows behind, mother didn’t realize until deed was done right in the middle of the wedding ceremony 🙂

Things are blooming here too but I miss some of the early bloomers like Bleeding Hearts. After the weather that’s coming up it’s going to look like a jungle up in here.

Hello Friend,
I helped make flower crowns for a Midsummer Festival at our local museum this past Saturday. It was the first time they held the event. We had a fantastic turn out.
As always, love your photos.

Wearing flowers in the hair at summer solstice, it’s a lovely tradition. The lady reminded me of the nymph of Midsummer Night’s Dream. Happy summer!

“People wear flowers in their hair …”, I like the thought and the photo.
And coincidence or not, speaking of flowers in the hair while I am doing my blogging, “Woodstock” plays here in the blu-ray player.
